What is with The Verve??? They're playing Oxygen, V Fest, T in the Park & Glastonbury.

I mean for f***'s sake, they have like two decent tracks (yeah Sonnet and Vindaloo - har har)

Don't know if this means they'll play Reading & Leeds definately or there's not a chance but well they should just crawl back into whichever hole in Wigan they reformed "for the joy of the music" out of.

I have made my playlist over 200 tracks long. I listen to it in the library whilst failing my degree.

And so it was good.

It's like my record collection has just become portable without any of that MP3 player shit.

I am editing this just to have a copy of how to get your chart early if I get all OCD or something when it's late:

"We know that last week was quite a pain because our charts came very late, and I saw quite a lot of people whining about not being able to get their weekly chart…

According to my Windows Media Player song ratings these are my favourite albums of all-time:

4.5 STARS

Relationship of Command
Ten

4.25 STARS

And justice for all
Amplifier
Amputechture
The bronx (II)
Frances the mute
Jupiter
The shape of punk to come
Temple of the Dog
The Blackening
The Bronx
Vs

It's weird because I would never in a million months rate Relationship of Command above some of those 4 star albums. I guess it goes to show how an album full of individually great songs doesn't always make a great LP.

Actually that's a load of crap. 12 great…

I have just listened to them for the first time in perhaps half a decade.

I still remember the time wayyyyyy back when my brother asked for Blue Boy's Remember Me for his birthday and I almost made the mistake of buying him a Bluetones record.

(I just found a link to a free download of Rememeber me but alas it was dead - have the video instead - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGK_61omGYs)

So what better reason to read The Bluetones artist description.

Apparently they're still around and had an album out just under a year ago - who would have 'tort' it???…

For some reason every band I see live I'll randomly see again - mainly due to going to Reading Festival really.

Anyway there's loads of bands I've seen twice and I thought I should list them now before this year's festival changes it.

Lost Prophets
Hundred Reasons
The Bronx
Amplifier
Mark Lanegan
Louie
The View
The Sunshine Underground
Slayer
My Chemical Romance
Towers of London
The Subways
Dirty Pretty Things
Babyshambles
Taking Back Sunday
Less than Jake
Fightstar
Placebo
Goldie Lookin Chain
Kasabian
Funeral for a Friend

I'm sure there's more but fookin' hell - I like festivals but they…
